Research direction

Read the linked setuptools issue first, then inspect the wrapper's setup interface to understand how the current flat layout discovers packages. Define the behavior needed for large source trees and determine whether custom package-finding logic is appropriate. Done means the wrapper is robust to the reported layout without relying on the current flat arrangement.

Description

We want to be robust to this: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3845

Probably we could do that by implementing our own "find package" logic, since it's not particularly difficult to implement..
